5 Awesome Things on eBay this week

Burger King Pendant (eBay Link) –

I have this weird obsession with Burger King; I’m not even sure why because all their food tastes like it’s been left out in the rain. However, in my travels, I’ve met more than one collector who refers to themselves as “The King!” this is all I picture when that is said. Hail to the king of obscure toys, baby.

Star Maidens UK Annual (eBay Link)-

Star Maidens is a weird UK show with which I have a love/hate relationship. I mean, it’s got a lot of former Space:1999 people involved, but it’s also kind of dull. I own two of the action figures, and I’m hoping to buy more. As I said, I’m torn on this show and will likely buy this book eventually.

AHI Lost in Space Robot (eBay Link) –

I’m not sure what inspired AHI to make Lost in Space toys in 1977, but I am glad they did. I love the B9 like he’s family; I have a replica on my desk as I type this.

Part of a Mayor McCheese outfit (eBay Link) –

Finally, an outfit to walk my daughter down the aisle in. Also, I plan to walk my son down the aisle in this. They will likely tell a therapist about me; that seems fair. I will also marry you in this outfit for a nominal fee, which mainly includes living with you for a short time. I’m a total leach!

Japanese Kong Suckerman (eBay Link) –

Suckerman is, of course, a legend to Gen X kids, but I never heard tell of this Gorilla version. Is there a Suckerman cinematic universe coming? I can’t wait.
